Revenue Operations (RevOps)
Revenue Operations (RevOps) is The strategic alignment of sales, marketing, and customer success operations to drive full-funnel revenue efficiency through shared data, processes, and technology.
Revenue Operations (RevOps) unifies the operational functions that were traditionally siloed across Sales Ops, Marketing Ops, and Customer Success Ops. Instead of each team building its own reports, managing its own tools, and defining its own metrics, RevOps creates a single operational layer that spans the entire customer lifecycle.
The function emerged in the mid-2010s as B2B companies recognized that departmental silos created data gaps, handoff friction, and conflicting metrics. When Marketing says "we generated 500 MQLs" and Sales says "we got 200 usable leads," someone needs to own the truth. That's RevOps.
